Helpful Tips:
Cord Choice: Go for soft, flexible cord so it sits comfortably all day. Thinner cords (2mm) or three-ply cord are often softer than single-twist cord.
Color Play: Mix and match colors for different looks. Try a bold color for summer or a classic neutral for everyday wear.
Gifting: These make adorable handmade gifts or budget-friendly market items.
